Chapter 1262: Chapter 1261: Another Encounter with the Abyssal Witch
After listening to Ling Fengās words, Xuanyuan Xiaās brows furrowed tightly. Previously, Ling Feng had not mentioned the Witch, and Xuanyuan Xia didnāt know it was the Witch who made Ling Feng become like that.
Now, after listening, Xuanyuan Xia felt that things werenāt that simple. The Witch, as one of the two Immortal Realm masters of the Abyss Realm, entering Earth just to wait for a successor beneath the Pyramid didnāt make any sense at all!
"Ling Feng, didnāt you get a map and a key from the Witch?" Xuanyuan Xia said in a deep voice, "I think the secret of the disappearing portal should lie within these two items!"
Ling Feng swiped his finger and took out the map and key from the Devilās Ring.
When the map was taken out, it suddenly expanded with the wind, simultaneously emitting a powerful light, enveloping Ling Feng within it.
Ling Feng felt a buzzing in his head and didnāt even have time to react. In the next second, he found himself in a mysterious space, and in this space, Ling Feng felt a sense of dĆ©jĆ vu.
"Isnāt this the world in the map?" A trace of astonishment appeared in Ling Fengās eyes. Could it be that he was sucked into the map, and the so-called Gate of the Abyss was hidden within this map?
This idea popped up, making Ling Fengās heart pound. If this were true, wouldnāt it mean that when under the Pyramid, the Witch had already planned for today?
After hesitating for a moment, a resolute look flashed in Ling Fengās eyes. Since he was already here, he might as well stay and see what this Gate of the Abyss was like!
According to his memory, Ling Feng quickly arrived at the place marked as Hellās Gate on the map.
When he reached that place, Ling Feng found that in front of him was a huge stone gate. Besides a keyhole, there was nothing on the gate, as smooth as a giant slab.
"The key!" Ling Feng exhaled, opening his palm, and the key given by the Witch was lying there.
The key seemed to have been summoned by something, transforming into a stream of light and shooting into the keyhole of the massive stone gate. Once inside, the giant stone gate emitted a faint light, with a three-meter diameter opening appearing centered around the keyhole.
Nothing could be seen inside the opening, but Ling Feng, without any hesitation, walked straight in.
After passing through the opening, Ling Feng discovered that there was no portal inside, only a familiar figure sitting.
"Abyssal Witch!" Ling Fengās pupils constricted. He never expected the Abyssal Witch to appear here.
"Hello, we meet again!" The Abyssal Witch turned around, looking at Ling Fengās grim expression, she said with a smile, "Little guy, why do you look so unhappy to see me?"
"Why are you here?" Ling Feng asked hoarsely, not knowing why, but seeing the Abyssal Witch made a sense of submission rise in his heart. Although he quickly suppressed it, Ling Feng still felt very uncomfortable.
Is this the power of an Immortal Realm expert?
"Iām the Abyssal Witch, you should now realize that I have Immortal Realm power, right? With my strength, I can appear in any corner of this world. Is it strange for me to appear here?" the Abyssal Witch said with a grin.
Ling Feng shook his head, "Thatās not right, I know that as an Immortal Realm expert, you cannot casually enter other planes, because the plane laws you bear are different."
The Abyssal Witch nodded, seemingly a bit surprised as she said, "It seems youāve learned quite a bit recently, but what you donāt know is, while itās true that Immortal Realm experts canāt freely enter other planes, there are always exceptions. Otherwise, how could you have met me under the Pyramid?"
Ling Fengās face instantly became extremely ugly. If Immortal Realm experts could enter Earth, then what was the point of everything he did? After experiencing so much, Ling Feng clearly knew that the power of Immortal Realm experts could easily destroy the entire Earth, especially the current Earth, with its thin vital energy and fragile laws, it couldnāt withstand the attack of Immortal Realm experts.
"Rest assured, Iām just leaving a mere avatar here! Even though itās just an avatar, my strength barely reaches the cultivation level of the Sea of Gods Realm, which you canāt contend with, so... better rid yourself of any unrealistic thoughts!" the Abyssal Witch said with a chuckle, "Seeing me here, do you feel a sense of panic and unease?"
"Why should I be uneasy!" Ling Feng took a deep breath and said calmly.
"Because... you never intended to open the Gate of the Abyss!" the Abyssal Witch laughed, "I must admit, I underestimated you. I awakened the Power of the Abyss within you, turning you into someone of the Bloodline of the Abyss, yet you still chose Earth, which I find very perplexing. Why is that?"

"No particular reason!" At this point, Ling Feng let go of all his worries. He understood that he was probably doomed this time. Since he was going to die, why not uphold the dignity of an Earthling?
"I am an Earthling, I was born and raised here! Although Iāve gone through many unpleasant things, I love my homeland, I love the people on Earth. I donāt want Earth to become your hunting ground because of my selfishness!" Ling Feng said solemnly, "I also know that the power of the Abyss Realm is strong, but so what? Even ants struggle desperately in the face of death!"
"But youāre no longer an Earthling now!" the Abyssal Witch said flatly, "Your body is filled with the power of our Abyss Tribe, and our Bloodline of the Abyss is superior to humans in the evolution of life! Donāt you feel proud and honored about this?"
"Although youāve changed my body, you canāt change my soul and thoughts!" Ling Feng replied with a cold smile, "My only regret now is not being able to destroy the Gate of the Abyss!"
The Abyssal Witch frowned at Ling Fengās āungratefulness,ā puzzled by how such a lowly Earthling could disregard the high-level Abyss Tribe. Was this just some boring persistence of a native?
"Abyssal Witch, I donāt know what your purpose is in putting so much effort into bringing me here, but I can tell you that even if it means my death, I, Ling Feng, will never do anything harmful to Earth. As for the Gate of the Abyss, I will never open it!" Ling Feng said resolutely.
